| 20110110445 | System and Method for Estimation and Correction of Carrier Frquency Offset in MIMO-OFDM Based Wireless Communications Systems - This invention relates to a Multi-Input Multi-Output Orthogonal Frequency Divisional Multiplexing (MIMO-OFDM) is a transmission technology for many current and next generation wireless communication systems. Carrier Frequency Offset (CFO) Estimation and Correction is one of the most important requirement of the proper reception of MIMO-OFDM Signals. The invention provides a null subcarrier based scheme to accomplish this task. The CFO is estimated by employing the co-variance matrix of the signals on all receiving antennas with a cost function which minimizes the energy falling on the null subcarrier locations due to frequency offset. The proposed approach results in very low computational complexity as it uses a two step procedure, making it very attractive for real time applications. Also a new null subcarrier allocation scheme based on Fibonacci series is proposed which ensures a frequency offset estimation range equal to the maximum possible range equal to the OFDM bandwidth. | 05-12-2011 |

| 20110007829 | OPTIMAL TRAINING SEQUENCE AND CHANNEL ESTIMATION METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR SUPERIMPOSED TRAINING BASED OFDM SYSTEMS - The present invention relates to a method for minimizing means square estimation error (MSEE) and bit error rate during channel estimation and equalization between a transmitter and a receiver of an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems. The method comprises transmitting from said transmitter to said receiver a training sequence for channel estimation being superimposed onto data at specific pilot to data power ratio (PDPR), receiving the OFDM signals along with the training sequence as an input, cross-correlating said received signal to a specific lag determined by the rms delay spread of the channel, with a specific known training sequence stored in a register, and which is also the sequence that is added to the data at the transmitter in the time domain having a prescribed pilot to data power ratio. The cross-correlated data being processed over a length of samples which can be extended to exploit the coherence time of the channel and processed along with the stored values of the inverse of autocorrelation values of superimposed training (ST) sequence so as to obtain a reliable least squares based channel estimate in a way the PDPR is limited or otherwise. The invention also relates to a system comprising means for computing a time domain least squares (LS) based channel estimate at the receiver. | 01-13-2011 |
